I had a really hard time rating this book. While the story told is one that is important it does not align with being a deeper look into these three remarkable women and who they were.
She writes an important look at what it was like to be a Black woman through the late 1800s to the 1970s; and shares many of the horrors faced. Though I would say there are better versions of this. Looking at the book through that lens; I would give it a 3.5.
As a story about these women; I found it frustrating. There are other works that share more (particularly on Louise Little), she makes generalization that I felt undermined all three of them and her writing is poor. I was really bummed with this book overall.
